YourPath is based in St. Paul and uses technology to quickly get help and resources to people suffering from substance use disorders. Within 24 hours of a patient reaching out, YourPath will chat via text with the patient and send a link to a secure telehealth platform to continue the conversation and ultimately complete an assessment to get the patient customized help including medication and support from resources in their community.

According to the Minnesota Department of Human Services, an estimated 290,000 adults in Minnesota need treatment for a substance use disorder. In 2023 alone, 947 Minnesotans died of an overdose, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

“YourPath strives to create healing ecosystems across communities by linking treatment facilities, care providers, peer organizations, housing agencies, hospitals, public health departments and more,” said Delisi.
